His snoring has always been a problem, its not that it bothers me, i fall a sleep much easier hearing his snoring yet when i'm fast a sleep and his snoring gets loud i wake up and move around a lot then i wake him.. So its never a win win situation. I was wondering is there maybe some kind of medication one can take, or is there some old wives tale that we can maybe try? Thanx! Reply to this Question

 There are many great snoring solutions on the market. I personally like the breathing strips, but they didn't seem to work for me, I needed to diet a little more. There is a really good article and a snoring solution at http://www.dubbletake.110mb.com which is the one I ended up using. It feels a little strange at first, but my partner says it works, so I used it, dieted, and now keep it just in case.

Hehe something he hates, but if he wants sleep at night then it has to be done! Thank you so much!! :)

My dad snores a lot and I know my mom worked with him and a doctor to fix the problem. There are a variety of dental pieces and nose strips that can help. We found out my dad has sleep apnea and he wears a breathing machine and they both sleep a lot better now.

In more serious cases it could be obstructive sleep apnea. If that's the case, there's a machine that blows air into your nose through the night to keep the airway open.
He should see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis. Although rare in someone young, sleep apnea can be a serious health issue.

lol, kidding :)
Your husband could try nasal strips or sprays, or maybe he can sleep in a different position? I think if you sleep on your back you're more likely to snore.
Here's a few websites that might help!
